Assassin Bug Nymph - Zelus
Copyright © 2008 Sam Houston

Assassin Bug Nymph - Zelus
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
March 12, 2008
Size: 12.7mm (1/2")
Assassin Bug nymph. Initially I thought this might be a Zelus luridus nymph but it looks more red than I've seen before so I'm not sure. Please help with ID.

Great image!
Might not be able to give you a species on this nymph. Zelus is a genus in utter confusion right now, so even adults are getting harder to put to species.
